Half-Life 2 Hints
Section 1: Walking the Dog (d3_c17_02)
1 of 11: From where you land, make your way outside to the rubble-strewn street.
2 of 11: As you approach a van that's blocking the street ahead, you'll hear a dropship flying close by.
3 of 11: Immediately run back for cover and stay there while Dog rushes out and attacks the nearby Combine forces.
4 of 11: NOTE: Dog tearing those guys up with the greatest of ease is a really cool sight, so you might want to quicksave and then follow Dog out and watch from close by. You'll undoubtedly get injured, so restore and stay under cover after you've seen it all.
5 of 11: Move out from cover and run down the street when it seems safe.
6 of 11: You should find Dog holding a Combine-style gate open for you at the street's other end.
7 of 11: Quickly run through the gate, then turn and watch as Dog leaps onto a dropship and flies off with it. You'll see him again, but not for quite a while.
8 of 11: Avoid the huge moving wall segments and jump over the bent bit of fencing in the corner to the left.
9 of 11: Go through a couple of large wall holes to get to an elevator and some stairs.
